There are so many delicious foods to eat in Greece! Though I spend most my time eating moussaka and spanokopita, these are the other foods of which I also can’t get enough! Of course, every region has their own specialty, but here are the top 10 that you’ll see almost everywhere.

Moussaka

Eggplant, potatoes, ground lamb topped with bechamel sauce – it’s sort of a cross between lasagna and sheppard’s pie. Oh! And pretty much everything comes with a side of fries/chips.

Spanokopita

Layered filo pastry with feta and spinach. A great, cheap on to go option when you’re rushing to the next museum.

Saganaki

Fried cheese, flambéed with Metaxa. That is all.

Gyro

A pita sandwich made from meat on a spit that is shaved off. It can be a messy affair if you don’t keep it in its wraper. Also, fries are included in the gyro.
